Syrah 2004 (Red Wines / Syrah and Rhone Blends) -- Adelaida Shopping Cart -- 2004 Syrah

<H1>Syrah 2004 -- Adelaida Shopping Cart</H1> $26.00 -- Last Call <div align="justify">Adelaida’s primary label Syrah in 2004 came from three steep and low yielding vineyards within 10- 15 miles of the cool Pacific current (including our home vineyard, Viking, as well as terraced Glenrose and mountainous DeBro). The ever-present calcareous limestone soils act to devigorate the vines, contributing to the distinctive compact clusters and small berries of Paso Robles’ west side. A very fine vintage, 2004 gave us well structured wines of dense fruit flavors, integrated tannins and aromatic intensity. Picked as ripeness levels were peaking, the fruit underwent fermentation in open top bins using only native yeasts. Whole berries were punched down manually twice a day to develop fullness of fruit character, then matured in French oak (25% new) for 17 months, gaining complexity and spice from their sojourn in the tightly grained wood barrels. No longer a virtual wine, this fleshy Syrah offers deep black fruitiness and savory, gamey character. Redolent of ripe plums and roasting meat intermixed with elements of hand-rubbed English leather, the rich, mouth-filling mid palate rewards with luscious fruit concentration and a long penetrating baking spice finish. Immediately appropriate for the tenderest of lamb loins and grilled venison it is best with a simple steak on the “Bar Bee”.</div> Other products in the category <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/adelaida/Category23" TITLE="Red Wines">Red Wines</A> / <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/adelaida/Category28" TITLE="Syrah and Rhone Blends">Syrah and Rhone Blends</A>: <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/adelaida/Product103 TITLE="Cabernet Sauvignon/Syrah Chelle Mountain Reserve 2005">Cabernet Sauvignon/Syrah Chelle Mountain Reserve 2005</A> -- Penetrating zesty flavors with a fresh, “just picked” personality, the blend is reminiscent of crushed cherries, and currants sprinkled with mineral dust.
